Re: [Evolver] SOS Evolver review

2003-01-18 by Ravi Ivan Sharma <noision1@hotmail.com>

Nothing really. basically what we have already discussed on this 
list. A request for midi notes to move the sequencer along. A request 
for the waves in osc3 and osc4 to be mod matrix destinations. A minor 
quibble about the matrix editing rather than a myriad of knobs, 
despite acknowledging that such was certainly expected given the 
inexpensive price.

The biggest most bitter complaint was with not the Evolver but the UK 
duty and VAT. Oh well, there must be something good about living in 
UK though . . :)
